Friday Night Lights

October 16, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I usually keep it pretty basic when I go out at night. I wear black leather either in the form of a dress or pants with slinky accessories and practical shoes. Clubs aren’t really my scene so I never feel the need to wear bodycon dresses and sky high heels. But sometimes I want to…Read More

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce

September 28, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Mad Men was every fashion girl’s sartorial dream, and along with many others it ignited in me a passion for beehives and cardigan sets. The retro style was one of the many appeals in watching the fantastic show. To pay homage to Matthew Weiner’s creation, I staged a photoshoot with my incredibly handsome cousin Bryce…Read More

Bathing Beauty

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m no Botticelli Venus emerging from the half shell but I do know swimwear and the final installment of the Swimsuit Series is a retro look.

Welcome to the first installment of my ’70s Series. The 1970s are back in a big way this fall and though I was skeptical at first I’m coming around to some of the trends. The key is to modernize the look instead of just recreating your dad’s favorite disco style. This series will take four different trends…Read More

Lasercut Lady

July 13, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My love of leather is well documented (here, here, and here) as is my love of details. So when I found this lasercut faux-leather skirt with intricate floral detailing, I was sold. For a vintagey look I paired it with a cropped sweater from Paris and my go-to Kendra Scott necklace. I strive for honesty on…Read More
